The Question of Proclaiming the League
A Possible Hitch on the Land Bill.

The Question of Prcclaiming the League
Possible Hitch on the Land Bill.
Special to the indianapolis journal
LONDON. Aug. 10.-The decision Of to-mor-
rows Cabinet council the question of pro-
claiming the Nationa! League is looked forward
to with great interest Enormous pressure is
being brought to bear upon the government to
suppress tho League, and a majority of the Cab
met are disposed to resist it for purely political
reasons, but whether they will be able to with
stand the opportunities and demands of the
Irish peers and Tory landlords remains to be
seen. One thing is certain, however, and that
is that a proposal in the House OF Commons to
proclaim the League will have the effect to
arouse the fierce opposition of the Parnellites
and indefinitely prolong the session.
Or the occasion of the Lord Mayors banquet
to the Cabinet Ministers, at the Mansion House.
this evening Lord Salisbury said the govern
ment had done everything possible to give effect
to the country mandate to preserve the unity
of the empire. Extra powers had been placed
at the command of the government. and the
country b ad no right 20 complain if they were
used discreetly and at the same time fairly
This utterance is believed to signify that the
government will proclaim the league.
A number of peers have threatened to vote
for the rejection of the House of Commons
amendments to the land bill, especially those to
the clause providing for revision of judicial
rents, and have warned the government that
they will not deal with the question of arrears.
The attitude of these peers has upset the Cabi-
nets plan of further amending the bill to satisfy
the demands of the Parnellites. The Glad
stonian whips have notified members in
the country to return at once If the House Of
members have been summoned to return to
their seats in full force.

ECCENTRIC MARY BALDWIN DEAD.
Struggles of Supreme Court Judges
Daughter to Support Herself.

PITTsBURG, Aug. .10.-Mary Baldwin, the
adopted daughter of Judge Baldwin, who was
one of the first judges of the United States Su-
preme Court died Saturday at the Home Of the
Little Sisters of the Poor, where she had been
an inmate three months. When Judge Baldwin
that he was financially ruined, be called her
to his side and told her she would now have to
try and make her own living. He had given
her thorough education in music, and when
thrown upon her own resources, she took up
the profession of music-teaching, which she fol-
lowed until ute recently.
She presented the unusual spectacle Of q
woman eighty years Of age sitting at piano,
Lurpassing in accomplishments even the best
educated of the young people about her. She
had been raised amid luxurious surroundings
and was very proud. which often caused trouble
between her and her pupils. She was content to
have ony as many pupils as would suffice to sup
port her and would not hurry them through
their lessons. She would often spend three
that the pupil must have the lesson thoroughly
learned before the teacher would allow her TO
rest. She would allow the scholars to play
nothing but classic music, and the trash
music of the day, as she called it, she never
allowed them to have.
Miss Baldwin was very peculiar in the matter
OF dress In winter and summer she would be
seen wearing q calico DRESS with an old-fasn-
ioned waterproof cloak thrown her shoul-
ders. Sometimes she would white and
black plaid shawl which was in tatters She
wore on her head big Quaker bonnet with
green curtain. She clung to the hoops of early
days. All the old musicians of the city speak OF
her one who gifted in the art and Rev.
Father Graf, now well-known composer of
Baltimore. said repeatedly that she
doubtedly the best and most thorough music
teacher in Pittsburg When young she had been
converted from Professionalism to Catholicism
She will be buried by the Catholic society that
befriended her.

The Former Urged to Tell All He Knows About
the Round-Table Conferences.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-Mr. Gladstone is rapidly
recovering from his illness. He is no longer
confined to his room, and his voice is almost as
clear and strong as ever The recent attempt to
bring the ex-Premier and Lord Harrington
together in conference the question of dele
eating powers of autonomy to Ireland as the
basis of settlement of the Irish question as be-
tween the Liberals and the Unionists, failed
through the refusal of Lord Harrington enter
tain the proposal. The latter has manifestly re-
solved togo over to the Tories and endeavor,
through the terms he has been able to make
with Salisbury and his followers to carry through
Irish scheme of his own. AND any further
attempts to induce him to meet Mr.. Gladstone
are regarded as futile. This state of things be-
ing entirely apparent to everybody, the Pail
Mall Gazette asks Mr.. Gladstone to make pub
lie the whole of the negotiations that have taken
place between the contending Liberal wings
and finally cinch and forever dispose of the
Round table disputes. A great deal that has
passed between the leaders of the opposing fac
tions has never been told. and there is also room
for doubt that a great deal that has been told IS
true. No one but Mr.. Gladstone, the Gazette
says can thorougly clear away the mystery
rounding it, and he now owes it to himself and
to the country as well to do

Crops In Kansas.

TOPEKA, Aug. 10-The following is q correct
synopsis of the report of the State Board OF Ag-
riculture for the month ending July 80, showing
the acreage, condition, and product of the crops
named:
Wheat (winter and spring)-Area sown, 1872. :
029 acres, decrease of 2S per cent, or 1885, 365
acres, compared with last year. Area har-
vested, TIA, ,526 acres fabout 56 per cent OF tho
sown), the remaining A. per cent. being
abandoned account of damage by drought
and chnch- bugs. The estimated product for
the State is 7,470,375 bushels, which precludes
the possibility of any surplus over and above
the needs of the people of the State for seed and
bread.
Corn-This crop has dwindled from a condi-
ton of from 100 to $50 per cent at the date oe
our last months report to less than 80 per
cent OF the annual product for five years The
continued cry weather and the chinch-bugs
have combined to destroy what seemed, month
ago, to be the largest crop of corn Kansas ever
produced. The southeastern and northeastern
corners of the State will furnish good average
yield and the majority OF counties will produce
some good corn, but the product for the State
shows the lichtest yield per acre since 1874, and
will not be sufficient to meet the requirements
of our people within the year. The area seeded
was the largest ever recorded. 6.442. 923 acres,
and the estimated product is rs, $40. 566 bushels,
which will transfer Kansas from the list OF SUR
plus corn States for this year.

LABOR INTERESTS.
New and Very Secret Organization Which
Proposes to Reform Things.

New and Very Secret Organization Which
Proposes to Reform Things.
BOSTON, Aug 10.-A new secret organization
of labor, known as the brotherhood, and in
many respects similar to the Knights of Labor,
has been formed and has already grown to con-
siderable proportions The Brotherhood has
been in existence now over year. It was
formed in May, 1856, and has gradually extended
until 1t has established local councils in manv
of the cities and towns of this and other New
England States. Its organization is kept pro-
found secret and when spoken OF 1t is never al
luded to by its name AS a consequence. it is
impossible to say who are its officers where its
headquarters are or whether il has extended
into the West or South. Last night it was ascer-
tanned that local council of the Brotherhood
organized Monday evening in
of the western towns of Mas
egchugetts, presumably Pittsfeld. with
several heretofore prominent members
of the Knights of Labor as charter members.
The principles OF this secret organization
are contained in printed circular This cir
cular begins with the announcement that the
organization does. not believe in strikes, but
uses the ballot and cooperative Institutions
weapons of warfare Then follows the novel
and striking demand for the abolition of all laws
that tend to create an aristocracy of Office
holders and the demand for the passage of laws
compelling corporations to adopt such measures
will protect the lives and health of their
employees. It would also provide for tho enact
ment of laws compelling employers and
ployes to arbltrae all differences and to enforce
the decision of arbtrators. The last plank in
the platform provides that the government shall
obtain possession, by purchase, under right of
eminent domain, of all teiegraphs, telephones
and railroads, and hereafter the government
shall issue charter or license to any corpora
ton for the construction or operation of any
means of transporting intelligence, passengers
or freight
